Hello and welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries: Backroads. In this episode we travel back in time to 1910 and explore a record breaking flight by pioneer aviator Glenn Curtiss. He flew from Euclid Beach to Cedar Point beach, 60 miles away. Curtiss would break the world's record in the process with over 100,00 people witnessing this flight which broke the world's record set the previous year by Louis Bleriot when he crossed the English Channel. 68 years later this flight would be recreated by Chuck Slusarczky when he attempted the same flight only in an ultralight aircraft with a much different outcome.

Ep 274 - Stanley Meyer: Inventor or fraud?
In 1998, Stan Meyer - who had made headlines claiming he found a way to power cars using water instead of gasoline - was having dinner with Belgian investors when he drank his juice, grabbed his throat, and proclaimed he had just been poisoned. He died the next day. The Franklin County Coroner said Meyer died of a brain aneurysm, not poison, but supporters still wonder if someone killed Meyer to stop his work. Others, however, insist Stan was a charlatan, and his water fuel design a hoax.

In May of 1865, something happened that had never happened before. Twenty bandits derailed a train for the purpose of robbing its passengers and stealing bonds from its safe. The event, which happened in the Hamilton County village of North Bend, marked an evolution of the old highwaymen who used to rob stagecoaches. It was an era that also ended in Ohio, with the last great train heist recorded in Garrettsville, Ohio in 1935.

In 2009, an Akron woman was shot dead by a man who stood on her porch and knocked on her door. The next year, a second woman was killed when she answered the door. And in 2015, Akron police found a third Akron woman dead on her friends back porch. There is no reason to think these murders are connected, and they were barely covered by local media. But tonight, we remember the unsolved murders of Diane Mitchell-McMillian, Gwendolyn Hoisten and Duetta Nurse.
